K271MKII Over Ear Closed Back Headphones, Versatile design, High performance build, Exceptional isolation - Black & Blue

solid and nicely isolated due to their closed back nature, these headphones are ideal for my uses, they are solely used as my drumming headphones, so I can jam along to my songs without having to play my music too loudly, and stopping me going deaf from my drum kit too. Although when drumming I do not really get the whole benefit of the AKG sound quality, I have tried them running off my PC with a little dot mk 2 tube amp, and have to say the quality is nearly as good as my AKG K702s I use for playing games, and listening to music on primarily (although due to the closed nature of the k271s I am reviewing here, the sound stage is more compressed. For prolonged use these headphones are comfy, and will enclose my ears instead of partially trapping them, even with my glasses on. I consider my ears relatively average size, so would like to think this would be the case for most people, but it's worth trying them if possible. They are very secure in my head, I wouldn't say tight, but hold enough that I can play like a madman on my drums and headbang along without them falling off - which would lead me to think that if they do sit over part of your ear they would get uncomfortable with long periods of wearing. The cans come with a nice long cable, with your 3.5 audio jack as standard for mp3 players and phones, and a screw in larger phono adaptor for plugging into most other things, including some guitar amps, or my other electric drums =). In my opinion a very good set of cans for the price, and I would definitely recommend to drummers or other musicians due to their isolation, and nice long, sturdy cable and option of phono or standard 3.5 jack. A high recommendation from me.

This is a really great set of headphones I've been using for the past year and a half, these are my impressions: Looks: M'eh, they ain't winning no beauty pageants. They have a utilitarian look which is just fine with me, they're built to last, not to impress idiots on the bus. Build Quality: Very solid, sturdy headphones that have been on my head nearly every day since I bought them, no signs of cracking, scratching or polishing of the finish. The vinyl on the ear cushions dried out, but a second set was included in the box. The ceiling collapsed in my office in a rainstorm and killed my laptop, the headphones took the worst of it and all that happened was the sticky bits holding the foam inserts inside the ear cups don't quite stick as well as they used to. This doesn't matter as the ear cushions hold them in place just fine by themselves! Sound Quality: Very clear, even sound, much better than a lot of consumer grade headphones, including Bose rubbish or any of that Beats nonsense. These represent the audio as well as a decent set of speakers. Comfort: Really comfy, like a koala cuddling your head Features: The headband auto adjusts, sound is cut off when the headphones are removed, the cable can be replaced. Extras: Spare ear cushions, a jack adapter and an extra cable (coiled) are included, pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

I recently bought a pair of AKG K702 open back headphones for listening to my hi fi systems late at night, so I don't disturb the neighbours. Now, those cans leak like a sieve, and you can hear everything going around you. Very similar to the Grado experience. For the price, they have superb sound. No skull throbbing bass, but a double bass, electric bass and a kick drum actually sounds different. OK, get on with it, you are here for the K271 MK2 review after all... Well, I have owned a pair of AKG Y50 wired over the ear headphones for years, and been happy with them. They block out the sound around you, don't leak too much and have a microphone, and are aesthetically pleasing. Oh, and they have a bass in profusion. I used them to listen to music when the girlfriend is listening to stuff on her tablet. Now, after a couple of weeks I've got used to the sharp detail of the 702s, but I had to pull the Y50s on to avoid hearing background noise. They were indistinct, muddled, imprecise. I needed a closed ear alternative. Having read and watched a few reviews I decided a cheaper pair of AKGs might be in order. The 740s were in the frame, but semi open backed, a close relative of the 702. I reckon well worth looking at, but the backup had to be closed back.. OK, the unboxing experience. They come in a box, you open the lid, the headphones are in a plastic bag. There's a 2nd coiled XLR replacement in there, alternative velour pads and a quality 6.3 to 3.5mm adapter and some paperwork guff. Phew, that was exhilarating. Pick the headphones up, and they feel very light. The earcups are plastic- what did expect, carved granite? Tap them and they sound like solid plastic. Now, do you want something heavy on your head, and do you really tap along to music on the side of your headphones! The earcups with the attached leatherette pads are comfy, I wore them for 2 hours straight without discomfort. The headband barely contacts your head, it's unpadded, but frankly it makes no difference. Unlike the 702, it's a more flexible vinyl. The whole thing just happily sits on your head without any heavy clamping. Not had a chance to try the velour earcups, but probably as good as those on the 702. Maybe something to move over to in warm weather. Sound... Really, really precise. Stereo imaging excellent. Percussion comes over really sharp with a solid attack. Bass is there. Not some deep booming like that leaking from a boy racer's blacked out Audi, real bass instruments. Overall not as open as the 702s, but obviously from the same family. Driving them... They are not ear buds, they have a reasonably high impedance. Serviceable on my Motorola phone, better on a tablet, perfectly fine on my Marantz amplifier at 11 o'clock. OK, the cons, those plastic earcups. If you touch them or catch them on clothes you notice. The earcups are larger than most, but not the whole saucepan lid look of the 702. Advantages. Excellent detailed sound. Accurate. If you want bass, just add a little with the tone controls. Remember you are actually hearing real bass instruments, not something that vaguely wobbles like a darts player's belly. Unlike the 702s they isolate you a bit. Appearance. Well, the larger earcups and the wires over the top make you look ridiculous. Think cyberman. If you want a fashion accessory go and buy some Beats or the colourful Y50. Conclusion. Better sound than the Y50, but not as well built. If you want a better sound, and have a bigger budget 702 or similar. Well, after a few days I returned them for a refund. I found that the earcups were nosy if they rubbed against clothing. Maybe it's the design of the plastic and their shape that amplifies the noise from every bit of abrasion. The metal shell of the Y50s doesn't do that. Amazon were doing an offer on the Sennheisser 560S for £119, so I decide to upgrade, and have a different brand as an alternative sound profile. I suspect that the grille design that makes them open backed will be similar to the AKG 702, and won't act as a sounding board when they run against clothing.

Weight; Almost all AKG headphones are light weight, so no worries. Build Quality; Really better build quality, than it's comparators, though it is just hard plastic. Also, the velvet pads are soooo comfy Function Usage; 1. Best for studio recordings ; it's a closed back!! 2. The field emulation is quite great considering its price, so it's definitely considered for orchestra related music. 3. I'm not personally a drummer but my fellow people says it's worth it! 4. Detachable cable, so worthable for live sound (like field recording) Sound quality; Frequency range: The bass is not enough(feels even lower than flat ones), making it too dull. The mids and highs are arguably good. Clarity: The instrument isolation is every clear but lacks volume (compared with DT770 80 ohms) even after using a better DAC. Clarity further decreases when used in mobile systems (including laptops); tried on Dell G15 and Asus F15, both feels off. I don't personally like this use of mini XLR but, it's fine (locks perfectly and easy to attach and detach)

Kulaklık harika ötesi!

Podem comprar sem medo! Chegou tudo certinho 22 dias antes da data estimada quando comprei. Veio na caixa e em perfeitas condições, com todos os selos de autenticidade.

At the 80 CDN price tag I got them for, they were a real deal. They are comfortable and sound great. As noted in other reviews,the bias on these is neutral; everything shows up on stage and is measured. Not for the "deep bass" experience.

إنه ممتاز للاستخدام في الاستديو ولمتخصصي الموسيقى لانها تصدر الصوت الاصلي بدون اي افكتات 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
